Rejuvenation pre-treats their teak pieces with Golden Care Teak Shield, which helps prevent stains from food and drink. For teak dining tables specifically, they recommend using this product regularly since food and drink spills are a given!

This concrete-topped beauty is the best outdoor dining table for those that love industrial-chic style (but also works in a variety of contemporary yard styles including modern bohemian). The legs are acacia wood and the table top is not actually concrete—it’s a material called polystone.

The Atra collection includes a variety of matching coffee tables and side tables.

Styling Tips for Your Outdoor Table
For casual gatherings, top a large round breadboard with nuts and dried fruit. Pair a pile of napkins with old French flatware, utilize vintage jam jars for flickering votives alongside a stack of vintage tumbler or lowball glasses. Fill oversized serving dishes (we love this piece designed by Reiko Yamamoto) fresh fruit and vegetables. Then, for the finishing touch, add a pot of herbs or pull together an easy garden-picked bouquet. Explore a few of the Yardzen team’s favorite tabletop stylings for inspiration.
